AMY BLACK

This Northeastern grad and Lowell resident had established a career in marketing when she decided it was "now or never" for her music. After last year's debut album of mostly covers under the name Amy Black and Red Clay Rascals, the singer/songwriter explodes with this compelling album. Produced by Lorne Entress (Lori McKenna, Catie Curtis and Olabelle), the nine originals and three covers draw upon Black's Alabama roots with a mixture of bluegrass, country, gospel, blues and rock. Her splendid voice and writing are complemented with traditional American roots instruments, highlighted by Nashville aces Stuart Duncan (fiddle) and Roger Williams (dobro) with local support from Tim Gearan, Lyle Brewer and Mark Erelli. Black shows country cred on Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)," but it is the beautifully imagined sound and soul of her originals that make her a newcomer of note.
